About Our Guest:
MICHAEL RIVERO is the webmaster of WhatReallyHappened.com and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network. The WhatReallyHappened.com website is now in its 18th year.
Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as “Star Trek”, “The Day After Tomorrow”, and has supervised visual effects on “Brainscan,” “LOST”, and “Hawaii Five-0.” Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism.
Michaels foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster.
Since that sudden beginning, Michaels website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddams non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran.
Michael resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show.

When the smoke clears with this debt ceiling budget fiasco, there will still be a failing economy that needs to be propped up. The real problem will come when everyone realizes that they will be forced to pay more for health insurance to get less. The Iranians want to take a year to resolve the dispute over its nuclear program. I do not think the West is going to give Iran a year to settle this question, and that includes Israel.

Faber on gold: “We have a strong rally form the lows at 1180 to over 1400 and now we are backing off. I think between around 1200 and 1250 it is getting into buying range. The sentiment about gold is very negative, but if you look at everything considered – the monetization of debt, the…
